After a yum update my two guests that had been shutdown do not start any more. I have two other guests running that seem to work okay but I am now afraid that they won't come up again if I restart them. I am running CentOS5 with kernel 2.6.18-8.1.8.el5xen. Previously I had following xen versions installed: Oct 14 23:45:10 Updated: xen-libs.i386 3.0.3-25.0.4.el5 Oct 14 23:46:05 Updated: xen.i386 3.0.3-25.0.4.el5 After a yum update I now have: Jan 03 22:22:59 Installed: kernel-xen.i686 2.6.18-53.1.4.el5 Jan 03 22:23:55 Updated: xen.i386 3.0.3-41.el5 I have now two guests that won't boot.
